Rooted
in the Heart, Seeded in the Soul is a two-day workshop that we
prefer to teach at Dragon Waters or any other location with access to
extensive
gardens. It
does require knowledge of shamanic journeying.

We are so fond
of plant spirit work,
and it is so essential to our work with herbs, that we teach this
almost every
year at Dragon Waters. See also our
book on plant spirit journeywork, Rooted
in the Heart, Seeded in the Soul.

Many tribal
shamans are masters of
herbal healing and work deeply with the healing energy of plants. When
asked where their knowledge comes from,
they tend to say, "The
plants told us how to use them for healing."Even
those shamans who are not herbalists traditionally use
plants and plant energies in their work, as costume, as "decoration,"
in many kinds of purification, and sometimes as aids to the journeying
process.

We believe
that
you will be much
more
effective in your shamanic practice if you
have an active relationship with plant spirits.

In this workshop,
you learn about
traditional plants of power and the plants most
important to your growth. It is our usual blend of lecture, discussion,
journeywork,
practical work and ceremony that will take you to the lands
of
Spirit, the herb gardens and the herbalist's kitchen so you may
experience plant
energies on many levels.

Advance
registration is required to
attend all Church of
Earth Healing classes and workshops. See the Schedule
for when and where Rooted in
the
Heart will
next be offered.
